“Moments are like cherries. They’re meant to be relished, shared—not hoarded. You can clutch one terrible Moment or experience all the rest. Your life is slipping past in brilliant little bits, and I know it feels as though you’re holding on to him, as though opening your hand is letting him slip away. But when Moments pass and crumble, they become seeds. They grow into new trees. And I promise you, he’ll be in every new leaf. He will never be far from you.”
✨ALL of the stars✨
This was so incredible & unexpected. If I made a “top reads of 2023” list it would absolutely be in the top 5. Henry’s writing is beautiful as alway & fit very well with magical realism. The atmosphere was enchanting. I loved how well we got to know the characters & the family history.
The anniversary of my dad’s death is coming up & I related to June a lot. The way grief is handled in this book just hit me in all the right places.
The romance was also just perfect for me.
Will definitely be rereading, & next time I want to read it physically so I can just highlight everything.
